hate it when that happens

I wrote this sprawling post the other day, only to have it obliterated when Blogger unexpectedly crashed on me. The "recover post" button only works when the page can be found.

I have been too miffed to update since.

Anyway, I am over it now, but I have an apartment to set up. Updates and pictures soon.

oh jesus I hate that, its been happening to me with webmail far too often lately, so now I've gotten in the habit of actually typing stuff in word and pasting it in to the text boxes, I feel so lame for doing it too =\

Yeah, gmail now has an auto save feature, but I wish they had gotten to blogger first - I lose posts more often than emails.

damn it, yes! I do hate it when that happens.

Right now I am parked outside of the back entrance to my school using the school's wireless internet. I tried explaining this to the security guard but he keeps looking at me.

I guess I do kind of look like a terrorist.

Anyway, I miss you guys. I'm bored out of my mind. It's another four day weekend since Monday is "Native American Day."

When do you stop substituting and get your regular classroom, Jasmine? And maybe I missed this one before, but what exactly is the deal? Is it year-round school or something?

Alan - Yeah, I know. I can't bring myself to cut/paste, even though it would save me heartache in the end. It would break my spirit.

Mila - No joke. Have I ever lost an email?

Amelie - Exactly - it's year-round. Only the term we use for it is "track." We're a three-track school, though some are four. The District has the most track schools of basically anywhere, and they're all in the low-income areas. Big surprise. Our new(ish) superindendent is phasing them out entirely by 2010, but that means a bunch of new schools have to be built, in low-income areas no less, and that's been a battle. But, it's happening.

Anyhow, in answer to your question, my kids come back at the end of the month. I think I'm going to do another week of subbing and then take a week off to get my shit together for my permanent class - long-term planning, etc - as well as getting into the right frame of mind. Mentally, I'm freakin exhausted, and I don't want to go into my classroom thinking like a sub, if that makes sense.
